With ScreenCoach, kids earn screen time tokens through chores, schoolwork, exercise, and other real-world activities. Instead of restrictions, it uses positive parenting strategies to teach effort and responsibility. Kids are motivated to contribute, feel empowered, and gain a sense of achievement. Unlike typical parental control apps, ScreenCoach is a complete reward-based system that builds healthy habits and reduces conflict at home.

• Kids earn screen time by completing real-life tasks
• Gamified & fun!
• Encourages responsibility and positive behavior
• Replaces restrictions with reward-based motivation
• Ideal for families using positive parenting techniques
• Reduces screen time conflict and builds pride

Kids can also earn Pocket Money Gems at the same time!  Examples:

• They could earn screen time tokens and Pocket money gems for unpacking the dishwasher, or
• Only get screentime tokens for reading for 15 minutes

It is completely customisable to suit your family’s needs!

ScreenCoach builds healthy screen time habits by rewarding structure, consistency, and real effort. Children learn self-regulation, delayed gratification, and time management skills in a fun, supportive environment. Instead of constant enforcement, parents guide their children with clear expectations and rewards. This system helps raise independent, well-adjusted kids who can thrive in today’s tech-driven world.

• Encourage healthy screen habits through routines
• Build a predictable feedback loop that reinforces effort, consistency, and success.
• Teaches self-discipline and delayed gratification
• Kids earn screen time by doing real-world tasks
• Focuses on growth, not punishment
• Supports long-term behavioral development
• Unused screen time tokens carry forward to the next day(s)
• Repeating activities with reminders
• Activities with consequences: if not done by the due date and time, block some/all apps

SUPER FEATURE  Trusted kids can self-approve some activities based on their level of trust!  This allows them to earn screen time tokens automatically, without needing parental approval. 🙂 By default, all children start with all activities needing to be approved by parents, and parents can add the trust feature as the child earns it.

The most frustrating part of being a parent is having to ask your children to do things again and again – ugh, the nagging is exhausting. The magic of ScreenCoach lies in offering incentives for children to volunteer for their tasks – imagine that! With ScreenCoach’s gamified reward system, kids earn tokens for screen time and gems for pocket money. It turns tasks into a fun challenge and builds real motivation.  BONUS Rewards for Positive Habits! Kids can earn bonus tokens when they go above and beyond.  You can offer custom bonuses to reward behaviour you’d like to encourage – such as: 🌟 Completing a task with a good attitude – get 30% more tokens! 🌟Finishing something before it’s due – get 50% more tokens! 🌟Doing something without being asked – get 100% more – get 100% more Example: Jimmy usually earns 3 tokens for unpacking the dishwasher. But today, he did it immediately, without moaning AND without being reminded. Great job, Jimmy! 🎉 Mom awards bonus tokens for that extra effort! 😊🙂

ScreenCoach fits your lifestyle with fully customisable routines and tasks. You decide what gets rewarded—whether it’s homework, exercise, or something else – and adjust screen time values as needed. Whether you’re managing multiple children, neurodiverse needs, or a blended family setup, ScreenCoach is the flexible solution that works for your family, your way. You can set up individual or shared modes for different purposes, giving you ultimate flexibility.  Each mode can have one or more access times per day and can be set up to allow or disallow groups of Apps. “School Mode”, for example, can have:

• Only allowed from 9:00 am until 3:15 pm (Mon – Friday)
• Free access (Does not consume child’s time allowance)
• Only allows some specific apps used for school, blocking all others

“Sleep Mode”, for example, can allow only certain audio apps for listening before sleep, while all other apps are blocked. Quick changes with Access Pass: If your “fun mode” is only configured to be used before school hours and after school hours and on weekends, you can grant an access pass for the day if your child is home sick or they have a bonus day off school. Parents with ADHD and Autistic kids are seeing great results with ScreenCoach.

Kids thrive with predictable boundaries and routines; this is especially crucial for kids with ADHD or autistic children. ScreenCoach helps families build consistent daily routines while offering the flexibility to adapt in real time. Create structured screen time schedules that support healthy habits – then adjust instantly when plans change. Whether it’s a sick day, a last-minute visitor, or your child earning a special screen time pass, you’re always in control. You can also restrict access temporarily if behavior slips. Unlike rigid systems, ScreenCoach lets you stay consistent while responding to the ups and downs of real family life. It’s the perfect blend of structure and flexibility to support your parenting style.

• Have multiple access times per day 
• Create repeating activities with reminders
• Create an activity with a consequence that blocks fun time if not done by the time
• Instantly adjust for sick days, school events, or guests
• Issue quick access passes, 
• Issue a temporary or ongoing block if they need a screen time break
• Supports both flexibility and consistency
• Helps maintain structure without power struggles

ScreenCoach motivates kids to earn more than just screen time – they can also earn virtual pocket money by completing real-world tasks. Using the Gems system, children build financial literacy as they learn to manage money, track spending, and make smart choices. Parents can approve and track all deposits, expenses, and automate recurring transactions such as a monthly Roblox subscription. This turns ScreenCoach into a powerful virtual pocket money management system as well!. By linking time and money, it reinforces the value of effort and delayed gratification, setting children up with crucial life skills for the future. Bullet Points:

• Kids earn gems that convert to pocket money in a virtual bank account
• Tracks expenses, deposits, and subscriptions
• Kids add their own expenses
• Supports recurring excuses such as YouTube or Apple Arcade
• Supports recurring deposits, eg. $5 pocket money every week
• Builds money management and life skills
• Reinforces the connection between time, effort, and money
• Teaches delayed gratification and smart saving habits
• Kids can see a history of their spending habits to understand where their money is going

*NOTE:  The pocket money account (with debits, credits and balance) that you see in ScreenCoach is a virtual currency – it is not real cash in a bank account. In this modern world, with card purchases and automatic expenses, you can track your kids’ pocket money balance with ScreenCoach. This means whether you buy things for them at the store or online, if they have earned additional money via Gems, or are gifted birthday money, you just need to record each deposit or expense in Screencoach. The kids can also add their own expenses! If you want to “convert” some of the child’s ScreenCoach balance to their own debit card, you can transfer real money from your bank account to the child’s debit card. Then, add an expense in Screencoach for the same amount with a note. The virtual balance in Screencoach will update to reflect the transfer of funds, and the child can check at any time how much they have saved and how much they have spent.

ScreenCoach is grounded in positive psychology, behavioural science, and gamification principles. It uses positive reinforcement to shape lasting habits and teach emotional intelligence. Rather than punishing or restricting, it helps children internalise better choices and routines through motivation and progress, rather than fear or force. Bullet Points:

• Based on positive psychology and habit science
• Uses consistent reinforcement, not punishment
• Supports emotional regulation and growth
• Encourages real behavior change, not just compliance
• A smarter, evidence-based parenting solution

🔒 Built for Privacy: ScreenCoach doesn’t track or sell your family’s data. Ever.

No more nagging or fights!!! ScreenCoach helps reduce daily screen time battles by giving kids real choices within clear boundaries.
